BenSwann.com obtained an exclusive interview with Shona Banda, a cannabis oil activist who was reportedly raided by police after her 11-year-old son disagreed with some of the anti-pot assertions made by school counselors during a drug education class.
On March 24, cannabis oil activist Shona Bandas life was flipped upside-down after her son was taken from her by the State of Kansas. The ordeal started when police and counselors at her 11-year-old sons school conducted a drug education class. Her son, who had previously lived in Colorado for a period of time, disagreed with some of the anti-pot points that were being made by school officials. My son says different things like my Mom calls it cannabis and not marijuana. He let them know how educated he was on the facts, said Banda in an exclusive interview with BenSwann.com. Banda successfully treated her own Crohns disease with cannabis oil.
After her son spoke out about medical marijuana, police detained him and launched a raid on Shona Bandas home.

anyone live in that pest hole of a state. Ever since the right wing fundies have taken over it just keeps sinking deeper and deeper into an abyss of rank stupidity.
My sympathies to those who through economics, family or other reasons cannot leave because it must be something less for you than living the American dream. I hope for a better future for you.

'drug educators' have lied to them regarding cannabis. It has always worried me a bit; what if kids try harder drugs because of those lies?

Oh, it's Kansas. The last intelligent person who leaves the state can turn out the lights. It shouldn't be long the way things are going there.
